Digital X-Ray Unit

New medical equipment is always at the forefront of the Foundation’s fundraising efforts and back in 2016, the radiography department was the focus of
the Peace Arch Hospital Gala’s Fund A Need auction. The goal was to raise $800,000 for a modern, state-of-the-art digital x-ray unit that would make
a huge impact for both patients and x-ray technologists.

While a whopping $435,000 was raised by our very generous donors at the Gala, the remainder was funded by other equally generous philanthropists in the
community.

We are thrilled to report that installation of the new x-ray unit was complete in late August and a special ribbon-cutting was held on October 12 for the
major donors who contributed to this important new addition to the radiography department.

Features of the new unit include faster and improved image quality, a reduction in radiation exposure and a fully flexible set-up that comprises a ceiling-mounted
x-ray tube to position around a patient, a stretcher or a wheelchair.

The radiology department performs 65,000 imaging exams per year. Since the new Digital X-Ray Unit was installed in late August, nearly 2,700 patients have
been imaged over a two-month period compared to 2,500 during the same time last year.

“We are so grateful for these phenomenal donors who are so willing and engaged in making our hospital the best it can be with their philanthropy. Thank you to every single person who made this new equipment possible.” - Teresa O’Callaghan – Executive Director, Peace Arch Hospital

Past Achievements

Community Health Champions

Dave and Rani Mann of Isle of Mann Construction, Ltd. and the Mannkind Charitable Society are a tremendous example of how to harness the power of philanthropy.
They gave a $1 million matching gift to the new ER and invited the entire community to take them up on their offer to match every single donation,
dollar-for-dollar. More than $1 million was raised to match their incredible generosity in just three short months.

CIBC Wood Gundy - the Yarmoshuk Financial Group is a strong supporter of Peace Arch Hospital, having generously taken on the title sponsorship of the Peace
Arch Hospital Gala since 2014. Neil and Lisa Yarmoshuk are passionate about their community and about giving back to their hospital. We can't thank
them enough for their philanthropy and ardent spirit of giving.

The Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary Society has a long history of volunteering their time and resources to raise funds for medical equipment and patient
comforts at Peace Arch Hospital. To date, this passionate group of women (and a few good men!) have donated more than $12 million, with their latest
gift - their largest ever - of $1.5 million to the new ER.

The caring fire departments of both Surrey and White Rock collaborated on a monumental gift to Peace Arch Hospital, donating $500,000 to the new ER's Mental
Health & Substance Abuse Zone. This precedent-setting joint donation is a testament to their commitment to improving health care services in a
hospital that serves both of their communities. We are so grateful for our first responders!

With a commitment to supporting the communities they serve, Westland Insurance is an extraordinary corporate partner of the Foundation. As a long-time
sponsor of both the Peace Arch Hospital Gala and the Great Pumpkin Run Walk, in 2016 they made a $500,000 gift towards pediatric treatment services in
the new ER scheduled to open in 2020. Thank you Westland Insurance!
